Is a baroque guitar tuned differently than a vihuela or lute? Another Watteau painting, the instrument in this one is obviously a lute:
I wrote the chart a few years ago (I've written over 80 charts). They've had so many updated versions since then, the bug has probably been fixed by now, so reporting it probably isn't important.
I'll go in a slightly different direction here. For under $6,000 you can find a genuine '50s one with P90 pickup(s). ES-175s don't get any better than that. Looking on Reverb, asking prices for...
